Lotte-rs Patent No. 101,107, dated March 22, 1870.

,l IMPROVEMENT 1N MAOHNE FOR WIRING WINDOW-BLINDS. f

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same v have invented anew and improved Halid-lacliiiie for l Wiring Window-Blinds; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear and exact description thereof', reference being had to the accompanying 'drawings and to the letters of reference marked there- The nature of my invention relates to the combination of devices which operates directly on the top of the rod and slats, and holds them firm in their proper place;

Also, providing the same with a feeding device, which will bc capable of passing staples along into thc guides that are not exactly perfect, thus preventing the machine from being clogged, and in general reducing the operation of wiring blinds.

Figure 1 is a perspective view.

Figure 2 shows the manner the staplesv arc forced one by one into the guides.

Figure is a form that holds the slats in line with the driver.

Figure 4 is a view of the rest for wiring the rods.

Figure 5is for referring to the manner the hand machine is' adjusted in connecting the rod to the slats.

'lhe staples are gathered upon a thin blade and placed on the staple-bar E sliding down to the feederslide D.

The hand-machine, fig. 1, is taken and set on the slat and rodfat the center cfr-iig. 5.

'lhegauge-rodF is then adj usted to the blind-stile J, which serves in connecting the rod in the center of the blind, g. 5.

'lhe form I holdsA the sla-ts in line with the driver rlhc driver A, which is furnished with a-large head, isthcn raised.

rlhe slide B that is attached to thc-driver A slips up on the bent arm C, carrying the feeder-slide l), that has undcr the middle an angular groove, as shown in iig. 2, along next to and at right angles with the driver A, also lover the end and through the staple-bar 1*), said bar having at its lower end a level form, thus forcing and carrying one staple in a perpendicular position under the driver A, as shown in iig. 2.

The driver A then drops down on the staple. A stroke with the hand, or a handle of hard wood held in. the hand, drives one staple in its proper place.

lhe operation is repeated throughout the whole length ot the blind and rods, as shown iu fig. 5.

ln setting the staples into the rod K, the patternrod L is secured by the button M.

The bami-machine, iig. l, after the form I is removed, sets over the rods K.

'.lhe stop N sets against the staples 0 O.

The operation ot' the machine is as described above, setting-'thc staples into the rod K correspomling' exactly with those in the rod L, as Ashown in iig. 4.

l .am aware that, the mode in operating hande punches or machines for connecting thc rods to the' slats by sett-ingfi'om one slat to the other is not ncw.

What I claim as my invent-ion, and desire to secureby Letters latent, is-

lhe combination and arrangement of the driver A, slide B, bent arm C, feeder-slide D, staple-bar E, gauge-rod Fhspring G, form H and I, the whole being constructed and arranged substantially as shown, operating as described, for the purpose specified.
